Random Irritations

As it going to be one of those days, I'll say people writing "golfing". ??
Do they do footballing & rugbying also?

???

I did actually think “hmm, that word is definitely going to bother someone” and decided to leave it there anyway. So I suppose that makes me a random irritation ???

Ok, a slightly controversial one for here....

Golfers who dress like golfers, even when they’re not golfing.... Bugs the living daylights out of me!

And breathe!!!!

My old man does this. It really irritates me, I’m not really sure why.
That said is it ok to wear a foot joy half zip with jeans? Asking for a friend? ;)

At the footjoy day I went to last year, a few others from the forum attended them as well, footjoy were really keen to get people wearing their gear off course as leisure wear. Their jumpers, half zips, in particular but then also they were moving into leisure shoes as well. They had half an eye on off course with their designs, it was a deliberate move.

I don't do it but it doesn't bother me when I see others in tops. Is it the polo shirts or half zips that do it for you?

Classic random irritation though ?

It’s the fully monty (FKW) really. Chinos, polo shirt, Pringle jumper types. Sometimes even the cap. It looks vaguely ok on the course. But not anywhere else.

I think the real issue is the people who actually go to the big golf events in full golf gear. Why? The organisers aren’t going to suddenly find themselves one player short and ask for volunteers from the crowd are they?

You’ve never worn your boots to a football match, just incase ?

Not saying it's right but what would you wear to a golf event?

I don't like wearing jeans incase it rains , so would wear say a pair of golf trousers that are those shower proof types

I love a polo shirt anyways. Don't wear footjoy except on course so just wear a golf polo

Waterproof jacket in the bag incase rains

Walking around a golf course what's best footwear incase it rains? Prob pair of summer shoes

Cap to keep the sun off the head or the rain off lol

Before you know it you become a FKW just because let's face it.. when it rains you don't want to be caught short slipping over and having your jeans ruined ..
 
My wardrobe (section she lets me have) isn’t big enough for golfing and non golfing attire.

I tend to wear my golf summer shoes as trainers after a season as they little bobbles on the bottom of the Nike Roshe erode pretty sharpish. I’d probably leave the glove at home, but will often wear something golf related most days tbh. Lots of it is becoming less golfy as such. A pai or chinos (trousers or shorts) aren’t imo exclusive Golfing attire.
that being said, wearing plus fours in the office may get me some looks.

Also if you wear more often don't have to change for a cheeky round ?

Now that is a random irritation of mine.

The “cheeky” pint stolen from the working class (not saying you aren’t) and used for anything and everything. My missus now becoming a manager at Nando’s has not helped this irritation. :ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO:

Yours was at least used in the correct manner, never has a Nando’s been had on the quiet!

Nobody can go for a cheeky round, pint or Nandos ? lol

But can have a cheeky Easter egg a bit early ?
 
The lycra-clad twunt who came belting downhill on the pavement today at over 30mph seemingly trying to catch the peleton. He then rode back having got a few choice words and soon scarpered when two other people came across the road to lay into him as well. Total and utter twunt. The speed he was going he would have killed some young kid on the pavement.

The attack of the road terrorists in full force and full Lycra today.

What do we stop first, Covid or the cyclist?

But as with everything else, it's just the minority that give the others a bad press.
I was driving behind a cyclist the other day, I was about 100yds behind him, when he went into the middle of the road to give people on the pavement a very wide berth.
He did good.
